Title: US Agencies' Science Journal Subscriptions Canceled

Link: https://science.slashdot.org/story/25/07/03/1...

An anonymous reader shares a report: The US government canceled several
federal agencies' subscription to Nature and other scientific journals. A
spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services said all contracts
with Springer Nature, Nature's publisher, had been "terminated" and that
taxpayer money should not be used on "junk science." Nature newsroom, with an
update : On 2 July, one US government agency, the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), which oversees the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
appeared to walk back its earlier statement to Nature's news team saying that
it was cancelling contracts to Springer Nature. Now the HHS says: "Science
journals are ripping the American people off with exorbitant access fees and
extra charges to publish research openly. HHS is working to develop policies
that conserve taxpayer dollars and get Americans a better deal. In the
meantime, NIH scientists have continued access to all scientific journals."
